  			(verse 1) 
                 D 
Maybe from the outside things look alright, 
        G            A 
But we know it isn't so  
                   D 
Cause baby on the inside, I spent all night, 
          G               A  
Counting reasons I should go, 

           D/F#        G 
How will I know when love's true, 
A               Bm - A 
If it comes for real, 
   D              
I told you, that you, 
G          A      D 
Shouldn't let me hold you 'cause it,  
G           A   
Breaks my heart again, 
 Em7  D/F#      G      A 
Every time you turn away, 
 
 
(verse 2) 
                D 
I don't want to go there, 
   
Cause I've had my share, 
    G                 Asus A  
Of believing lover?s lies,  
                    D 
And you've already shown me, 
  
that I can't see, 
          G                A  
Just by looking into your eyes, 
 
 
(chorus) 
           D/F#        G 
How will I know when love's true, 
A               Bm - A 
If it comes for real, 
   D              
I told you, that you, 
G          A      D 
Shouldn't let me hold you 'cause it,  
G           A   
Breaks my heart again, 
 Em7  D/F#      G      A 
Every time you turn away, 
 
 
(lead chords - D - G - Asus - D - G - A) 
 
 
 
(chorus) 
           D/F#        G 
How will I know when love's true, 
A               Bm - A 
If it comes for real, 
   D              
I told you, that you, 
G          A      D 
Shouldn't let me hold you 'cause it,  
G           A   
Breaks my heart again, 
Em           Bm   
Breaks my heart again, 
G           Bm        
Breaks my heart again, 
Em7         Bm      G  
Breaks my heart again,
